The link takes you to The Independent's crossword interface where you will find each daily Independent crossword, and also a free archive of Indy crosswords going back to June 2015.​For those of you unfamiliar with Serpent's blocked work, you might have come across his puzzles in the barred world of the IQ, EV, Magpie, and Listener, but he's fast outstripping his barred publications with regular appearances in the Indy and should soon be a well known name in the blocked world too.

​Hope you enjoy today's puzzle in The Indy and also take a wander around all the excellent archived puzzles the site has on offer.
